A …

I must admit, the one thing that drew me to buying this magazine in the beginning, was the notion of getting a —˜free’ cover Compact Disc at a price equivalent to just under one US Dollar, at the time (around 2006).
I turned out to be a very good buy …

Cousins is a song by Vampire Weekend which appears on their second record, Contra. Right from the opening, you hear an incredibly chaotic and energy guitar riff which has the characteristic youthful sound of Vampire Weekend, but it’s far more chaotic in my opinion.

Harry and …
